This module adds an archive timestamp and the user who did the archiving to all models having the active field.

Whenever a record is archived, the latest archived date is timestamped on the record.

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 15.0

Adds two read-only fields to every Odoo model that has an active flag: the date a record was last archived and the user who archived it. These fields are filled in automatically when a record is archived.

This module extends the technical base model that every Odoo model inherits from, so its effect is global. On any model that has an active field (the standard flag used to archive records), two extra read-only fields become available:

  • Last Archived on: the date and time when the record was most recently archived.
  • Last Archived by: the user who performed that archiving.

Both fields are filled in automatically. When a record is archived (its active flag is set to false), the system stores the current date and time and the current user. When a record is created already archived, the same information is stored at creation. If a record is unarchived, the fields are not cleared by this module; they keep the last archiving information.

The fields are read-only and are added automatically to the models, so they appear on the form views of the affected records without any manual configuration. No new menus, reports, emails or scheduled actions are added. The module only changes how archiving is recorded across Odoo.
